Skills
The toolkit
Self-taught engineer turned 2× CTO · Cairo
Two ventures shipped on the same suitability call. One acquired by Aumet. One Pre-Series A.
If you're evaluating me as a co-founder or operator, here's the read. Below it, the full toolkit — for completeness.
Building & shipping
Co-built two ventures end-to-end
Both still run; one was acquired by Aumet (Dec 2021), with the Cairo team retained as part of their Egypt operations.
Operating & scaling
Hired and led 10+ engineers + product + QA
Built the Cairo team the acquirer kept. Built the Career 180 engineering org from zero. Same playbook, twice.
Same Laravel + MySQL spine, twice. Server-driven UI, Redis-backed queues, observability via Sentry / Telescope / Horizon.
If you're a peer or candidate evaluating the technical depth, the spine is here. Below it, every tool by category.
Architecture I've shipped
Multi-sided marketplace + take-rate billing
Three-tier order routing, inventory awareness, take-rate billing reconciled to GMV × take rate. Queue-backed async with Horizon.
Platform engineering
Multi-PSP payments + LMS-as-SaaS
Architected payment integration spanning local PSPs, B2C / B2B / B2G flows, and cross-border. Originated the LMS-as-SaaS behind B2B Projects & Partnerships.
